A strange call from the Pennsylvania wilderness, where it originates, Distortion of Events is an eerie electro-industrial endeavor presented by single member Michael Lubert. For those uninitiated, Distortion of Events weaves mystical concepts and mysterious expositions into surreal dark-electronic compositions, with a nightmarish voice which might recall such legends as Sleep Chamber and Clock DVA. The latest offering from Distortion of Events, the Self-Mythos EP, delivers an array of cold, harsh programmed beats, lofty atmospheric melodies, bruising electronic noises aplenty and a voice not dissimilar to the urging of a diabolical force. These five songs travel an obscure inner terrain, revising ancient esoteric traditions and recombining their maxims along twisted cerebral circuitry. Distortion of Events erases the well-worn path of the familiar and relies upon an independent navigation instead. Self-Mythos guides the daring on a disturbing tour of the unknown.

Content: Distortion Of Events is a band we had an eye on since the early beginning of this band. Michael Lubert has released a new EP featuring 5 songs, which again will make us visit the bombastic and obscure sound universe of Distortion Of Events.

One of the main elements I like of this band is the kind of bombastic, vibrating sound emerging from the heavy, blasting sounds. Spooky vocals have been added on top creating a kind of horror-EBM sensation. But it´s really hard to define Distortion Of Events as one specific genre. Lubert uses so many influences that his music becomes quite unusual. I like the switch between different elements, which makes it now a bit more experimental and then a bit more dark-electro-ambient like.

The songs reveal a similar approach although the last part of the EP features the heavier sounding Unobtained as one of the most noticeable cuts. It remains a perfect match between experimentalism and bombastic electronics carried by dark sonic vibes.

Conclusion: Distortion Of Events remains faithful to its very unique sound creation, which will please lovers of dark oppressive electro atmospheres.
